Home improvement projects such as installing gutter guards, replacing a roof and many others can boost your home’s aesthetics, convenience, comfort and energy efficiency to some degree. Hiring professionals to perform the installation can also help with your safety.
One of the best projects you should consider today is replacing your old windows. In the old days, this meant removing your old windows and replacing them with new ones that are essentially the same style. This might have its merits, particularly if you love the look of your old windows, but it’s not a hard and fast rule.
For example, instead of settling for traditional double-hung windows in your living room, why not try something new, like a picture window?
This can be like replacing your old gutter covers with Gutter Helmet®: it serves essentially the same purpose, but now you’ll be happier because your new gutter covers are simply more effective and better looking.
Here are some of the best advantages of picture windows:
A Wider View
A picture window provides a better picture of your outdoor environment because there is a much wider glass area. Picture windows are not operable. Their main purpose is to frame a beautiful view. You can combine them with operable windows to the side if you want the option of airing out the room without sacrificing that large view of your vicinity.
Better Daylighting
Natural light helps normalize your circadian rhythm so you feel more rested and relaxed. It helps boost vitamin absorption when you’re exposed to sunlight. If you get picture windows with high energy efficiency and UV protection, you don’t have to worry about heat transfer and faded carpets and furniture. You can also add a tint to your picture windows.
More Energy Efficiency
As picture windows are not operable, there is a lower likelihood of air leaks. They provide a tight seal around their edges, so your heated or conditioned air stays indoors, and drafts don’t enter.
